I was watching a movie tonight, " The Illusionist" with Rufus Sewell.
Mr Sewell was sporting a full beard in this movie, and it stuck me how much he favored Freddie.
Look at these two pictures, especially the eyes.

Even the heavy jaw line is close. I think they could make Sewell look very plausible with some prosthetic's, and maybe thicken up his lips just a bit.
The eyes, a distinguishing feature would be hard to do, but in this case Sewells eyes are almost a perfect match IMO.
So who do you think will play the "Great Pretender"? And, if anyone says Mark Walburg, they should be permanently banned......lol.

Paul Rodgers. It helps that he was one of Freddies favourite singers

Haven't they decided on Ben Whishaw?

I don't know. If so then they will have to do something with Ben's weak jaw line.
